Object-Oriented Programming the desire for an easy transition from
existing languages


ABSTRACT

Now it is clear that Object-Oriented Software Development is here to stay and is the preferred way to develop software. To be successful in the world of object-oriented programming (OOP) one has to unlearn quite a few of the habits acquired from the years of procedure-oriented programming and learn some new ways of looking at the problems. Object-oriented technology is the wave of today. Thus it is my intent in this paper to give a brief overview of object-oriented programming, discuss the concepts of abstraction, encapsulation and information hiding (as applied to OOP). This paper will also show the importance of OOP in software re-use and also try to distinguish between object-oriented languages and object-based languages.
